’So Many Feelings’ is a sunshine-filled anthem produced by Spains’ Tête De La Course and written and performed by Senegalese-British, Mexican-born IDA fLO.

Barcelona producer and Poetry In Motion owner Tête De La Course’s sounds range from deep house to afro and have seen him release on the likes of Defected and Snatch! Records. IDA fLO—who has previously worked with the likes of CASSIMM and Sebb Junior— teams up with Tête De La Course on ’So Many Feelings’, a classically-styled feel-good disco house fist-pumper.

Juicy kicks and thick claps support a jazzy electric piano chord progression in the intro before an elasticated, funked-up bassline slams into play. Guitar licks scratch the surface and enhance the groove before IDA fLO’s powerful yet restrained delivery glides in. A calm breakdown breather sets us up for the exquisite release of the chorus and fLO’s soaring ad-libs. All that’s needed to top the track off are some joyous disco strings, and the result is pure party fuel.

“It's a lighthearted, but real reflection on accepting the full range of emotions we can experience in our lives” says IDA fLO. “The song was inspired by my family who used the phrase “so many feelings” to acknowledge the comical messiness of life.”

Tête De La Course & Ida Flo - So Many Feelings (Radio Edit) | Exploited

IDA fLO, a first generation Senegalese-Brit born in Mexico, and raised in San Francisco, is well recognized as one of the highest performing vocalist/songwriters in House Music today. Named after her grandmothers, Ida {EE-dah} and Florence, IDA fLO also inherited their entrepreneurial, resilient, and joyful spirits. 

James Brown, Michael Jackson, Erykah Badu, Youssou N’Dour, Lauryn Hill, and Bob Marley were ever present voices that influenced IDA’s unique vocal sound, and the inclusive love and spirit of House pulled her into the genre. What started as a spontaneous recording session in London in 2015, turned into her first release on Glasgow Underground Records w/ CASSIMM,  launching IDA fLO into the world and work of a singer-songwriter.

Growing up in the USA, IDA fLO witnessed her immigrant parents demonstrate courage as they traveled the road of life through the vehicle of their art. She recalls sitting beside her father as he put brush to canvas, creating visual portals into the stories and legends of his Senegalese ancestors. Her mother worked with paint too, from pottery to screen printing fabric and garments. This and IDA fLO’s affinity for the performing arts inspired her to study voice, piano, and dance. 

STATS + LABELS
IDA fLO’s music currently sits at 12.4M playlist reach on Spotify, 53 top charted tracks on Traxsource, 40 top charted tracks on Beatport. With releases on Toolroom, DVINE Sounds, Black Book Records and more.
